Safe Driving on Texas Roadways

When it comes to driving on Texas highways, safety should be at the forefront.

The Texas Department of Transportation reported that every 2 minutes, one person suffers injury in a Texas motor vehicle accident.

A common myth is that hot coffee or a cold shower can help someone sober up. Especially if they need to drive home. However, according to MADD, time is the only factor in helping a person sober up. Alcohol is a water-soluble drug. For your body to no longer be inebriated, your body needs time to flush out those toxins.

Knowing what steps to take following a crash can mean the difference between financial prosperity and financial disparity.
